oh..oh..oh.. I've got one!!
Guess this one and win...
You are about as entertaining as a child's inflatable punching toy. You bop it, it springs back, you bop it again and you forget it ever existed. It slowly deflates in an unused corner. Then someone comes along and pumps it up again... then you bop it again...LOL
Guess who?

Wow, that is simply freaky. I am listening to a song titled "George Wallace" right now. It is written by Vic Chesnutt, a parapalegic who sings and plays folk music. This particular album, he is playing with some of the guys from Widespread Panic. The band is called Brute and the CD is titled, "nine high a pallet". I give this info just in case anyone is interested.

I thought Bremer was one of the characters from a show called ‘hitchhikers guide to the galaxy’.
Agnodike, was mother of Socrates, 1st recorded female doctor in history;
Dressed as a man to study medecine, because women were not permitted to do so in Greece at the time.
Perhaps that is where the term ‘dike’ came from???? I du’no.

Agnodike did have to forgo her feminity in order to become a doctor. Although "Dikes" have another agenda that's an interesting idea, Austbounty.

Didn't the character Barbra Strasand portray in the jewish movie do the same thing so she could be accepted into a boys school. Sorry if I misspelled her name Don't know the name of the move though.
That was a great trivia question austbounty.

Schicklgruber was Hitler's last name, being that he was illegitimate and his mother's name was Schicklgruber at the time.
